Beauty & the Beast Pantomime Script Excerpt
DAME DOTTY & BRIAN are onstage. Some of the ENSEMBLE enter excitedly.
ENSEMBLE 1: Is he here?
DOTTY: Is who here?
ENSEMBLE 2: The King.
DOTTY: You just missed him.
BRIAN: But he said he’d be back.
DOTTY: Yes, for the rent!
ENSEMBLE 3: Oh dear, you’re always short on cash.
DOTTY: I certainly am. Just this morning I got a letter from the bank saying I’m in debt. The bill was so large I thought it was a pelican!
ENS. 2: I heard that the King fancies you, Dame Dotty.
DOTTY: Oh come off it, he would never fancy me.
ENS. 3: Why ever not? You’re pretty, positive and passionate.
DOTTY: I’m pretty positive I’m poor!
ENS. 1: But what if you did marry the King? Think of all the money you’d have!
ENS. 3: He’s got so much money he could fill a swimming pool.
BRIAN: That’s one way to splash the cash!
DOTTY: That’s all very well, but right now I’m completely broke.
ENS. 2: Surely you’ve got something stashed away for a rainy day?
DOTTY: Nope, I spent it on an umbrella. The only pounds I’ve got are round my waistline.
ENS. 1: It can’t be that bad.
BRIAN: It is, we can’t even afford to go to the toilet.
Everyone looks confused.
DOTTY: What?
BRIAN: We've not got the money to spend a penny!
Everyone groans.
DOTTY: Silly jokes and wishful thinking wont make us rich.
BRIAN: But can’t we just pretend, just for five minutes?
DOTTY: No.
BRIAN: Why not?
DOTTY: Can’t afford it.
Everyone groans. DAME DOTTY finally gives in.
DOTTY: Alright, I suppose a bit of financial daydreaming can’t hurt.
ENS. 1: (Excitedly) If I were rich I’d buy a new TV.
ENS. 2: I’d buy a new car.
BRIAN: I’d buy two dozen carrots!
Some of the ENSEMBLE look a bit confused.
DOTTY: 24 carat gold?
BRIAN: Nope, I’m investing in a veg-fund!
